Hi Y'All,

My brakes are in need of replacing fairly soon (pads are going and was warned at my last service discs will need doing at next service) and rather than replace them with the standard discs and pads I was wondering what the recommendations are for replacing them with something more useful.

I have an MY03 WRX with 18" alloys. I want to uprate the brakes using parts that will be a straight replacement for the existing Subaru standard stuff and have a budget of about £600.
Anyone any suggestions for what to replace them with (discs & pads) and a reputable place in the Berkshire area to get them done?

Recommendations for a good alloy wheel refurbisher wouldn't go amiss either (never buying gun-metal again!)

Ta,
muppet

 

HI Muppet

In you budget I can supply you our 335mm 2 piece disc kit to use with your standard subaru 4 pot calipers , the kit comes with 335mm x 32mm discs and bells , larger than standard shaped pads , most go for Ferodo DS2500's , the mounting bracket kit and all hardwear , the kit is curently £595 plus £10 delivery.

Our discs also come with a 12 month guarantee against warping even if you do track days.

Cheers Ian

 

Cheers - might give you a bell and take you up on that.

 

Actually Ian, will the prodrive replacements that's ongoing as a group buy do the job? Interested in them as it gives me a bit to spare so I can replace the rear discs eventually!

 

To use the Prodrive discs we are offering , you also need the Prodrive 4 pot calipers to go with them , the only larger kit we make for the Subaru 4 pots is the 335mm kit.

Cheers Ian

 

Ian,

Been looking at this kit but not sure if it will fit under my standard 17" MY06 WRX wheel's, do you know if they will or is there a way I can measure to see if they would go on ok.

Thanks,

 

Hi Hitcher

Yes our 335mm kit will fit under the standard WRX wheels ,

Cheers Ian
